Verdict
Market moves for either Planetoid or Mawaqeet here would have to be heeded. Singlefarmpayment was far from disgraced in a much better race at Newbury in December while Definite Future arrives off the back of a victory at Fontwell. But the latter has a bit to find with ST JOHNS POINT on a line through Kincora Fort. Charlie Longsdon's charge clearly didn't give his true running on his handicap debut at Leicester and shouldn't be written off just yet. Howaboutnow's run at Sandown should have blown away a few cobwebs and he may be best of the rest.
